Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Excite Trail 2

I think the shoe fits very well and is quite comfortable. It is very lightweight and right out of the box, they are comfortable to wear. The reason why I am docking off 2 points (down to only 3 stars) is because I did not anticipate how bad these shoes are when it comes to rainy or slick conditions. Because of the way the shoe sole is designed, (as you can see there are lots of little bumps similar to turf soccer shoes, but the traction is not like a "normal" sneaker, and there is an area of the shoe where there is literally no traction.). Thus, while I was wearing this shoe and it started to rain, I felt like I could not walk comfortably on a walkway (tiles and other slick material) and was on the verge of slipping many times!!! The shoes do well in dry conditions like a sunny day hike. But, I will also say the shoe width is on the narrow side compared to Hokas. So if you are susceptible to pronating your foot/ankle, there is a likely chance this shoe will not keep your foot stable and you could overpronate/supinate. When I tried the shoe on indoors obviously it felt fine because it was dry, flat conditions. Now that I have worn it outdoors and in rainy conditions, I don't love it. It is not my go-to shoe, unfortunately and I will have to find a different shoe.

I love this sneaker - absolutely comfortable and have a wide feet - but the this sneaker does work for wide feet

I have every foot problem under the sun, including bunions, but I refuse to stop running. I thought I had a hip injury and it turns out I just needed to replace my shoes. I love these shoes because I can fit my orthotic inserts in them without removing the cushy sole. Plenty of vertical and horizontal room. True to size.

The material is quite comfortable, and the support they have is very good for exercises and long walks.

Great shoes. Very supportive and well cushioned! They are trail shoes which makes the soles more durable. I loved them so much a bought another pair in another color! Also they run true to size.

I typically wear a wide to accommodate my bunion. These worked fine. I hiked to Mt. LeConte in the Smoky Mountains after an unexpected snow. The shoes had great grip and were overall comfortable and great overall on the strenuous hike.

The shoes fit well. Very comfortable

These are comfortable and seem supportive. The toe box is roomy but I can lace them tight enough/high enough that they don't slip on my narrower heels. Color options are nice. I appreciate that these come in both 11.5 and 12, which are hard to find in women's shoes, let alone in cute color options.

I guess I'm not going to be able to be an ASICS girl anymore. The last couple of pair that I had tried, the inside of the heel of the right shoe really hurts my foot. Don't understand why because other shoes don't hurt me. The sole is super grippy, which I loved and the color was ok. So they have got to go back!

This shoe is fine for a basic athletic shoe. Ti was fine out of the box. However, once I wore it outside, I realized I did not like the tread. It is actually weirdly very slippery on wet tile surfaces,--I almost ate it!! It's meant to be a bit of a "trail run" shoe but I just don't love the tread. Even when I hiked on a dirt path, I didn't feel like I had excellent grip or stability. The shoe feel is narrow. Arch support is moderate.

These didn’t fit like a glove. There is too much room in the shoe for my foot.

I always go a size up. They fit BUT, they looked like a cheap plastic material, so I returned them.

Not sure what the issue is with these shoes, but after wearing them for a while, they leave me with foot pain in the metatarsaglia. My guess is they drop too much in the front, and are too thin on the front.
